Traffic delays at Kruger

May 16, 2016 • 12:30 pm

It’s hard to brain today, and things are hectic as they’ll begin renovating my office tomorrow (part of my retirement deal). Posting may be light as I have to move my tuchus next door, and, like a cat, I do best in familiar surroundings.

But here’s a nice traffic report:

  2. Reminds me of a cartoon from waaay back:
    Two cavemen are standing on a cliff, and at the bottom is a dinosaur, eagerly wagging its tail.
    “Aw”, says one caveman, “he wants me to throw him somebody!”

  4. Had to say it..

    They’re lion all over the road, how inconvenient.

  5. It’s just struck me, a way to stop this would be to build random patches of asphalt in suitable spots off the road, perhaps overlooking it. Lions like lying on warm rock, as the road is probably warmer, smoother, and slightly softer than they’re used to.

    Anyway, beautiful pic. 🙂

    1. Yeah but they’d just lie in the middle of the road anyway. These are giant kittehs, remember. Perverse by nature.

    2. You’d need to make the “lion patches” darker than the road. Which you could do by using (for an example), basalt or gabbro as an aggregate in the mix on the “lion patches”, but moving to limestone for the aggregate for road repairs and replacement.
      Oh, the kilos of wartime “aggregate resource report for the county of X” I cleared out of the Department library (under instruction) in the mid-1980s. Not the most exciting of reading.

        1. Unexciting reading is a geological speciality. I fall asleep writing some of my reports, let alone proof-reading them.

      2. “You’d need to make the “lion patches” darker than the road.”

        Not in hot countries! Not even in e.g. New Zealand on a hot summer day.

        Speaking as a barefoot rambler, I can say that painted white lines (where present) are many tens of degrees cooler than dark tarseal on sunny days. So is concrete.

  6. I expected a post about Kruger Industrial Smoothing. And perhaps a photo of vintage vehicles with K-Uger car horns in a traffic jam.

  8. What beautiful and majestic creatures.
    I will suggest that animals are the best
    thing that ever happened to humans;
    in so many ways.

  9. My mind boggles with what this renovation includes. A trap door? A bookcase that opens into a hidden room? A fireman’s pole? Disco lights?

    1. Scratching post and a selection of toilet roll holders in assorted orientations?

      1. Nah, Jerry would have them in one orientation. He’s no accommodationist!

        Maybe he will have a special room for displaying his boots.

        1. If Jerry does succumb to the “call of the Bengals, will he/ she/ it/ they refer to him as “Imelda”?
